Come and join the Us for some off road fun in the snow for Aslad’s Off-Road Adventure Pt4! Vehicles: Bring whatever car you wish, though something with reasonable ground clearance is highly advised. Also, in keeping with the spirit of this event, I would ask that you bring something that doesn't have godly performance as it ruins the challenging aspect of this event. Bikes, weaponised, boosted & flying vehicles are not allowed. How it works: The event will kick off with a "best car" vote so make sure to make yours as offroady or aesthetic as you can! We will then set off on a pre-scouted route along the varied and tricky terrain of the east…

Now that the snow is all over Scotland and is playing havoc with y plans in real life it has at least reminded me that San Andreas is now a snowless zone and we can go ahead with the previously postponed GT Sports Car Cup. I'll leave the previous sign up up to remind everybody and you can just say AYE or NAY all over again below. This Wednesday we'll be racing GT Cars against each other on some of our favourite tracks to see which is the best driver/car combo. You pick one car and you race it all night. Some of these cars are better on the tight and twisty stuff whereas some are better in a straight line so each will have their moment to shine. …

Cayoo Pericoo Special Come and join us on Wednesday 16th of October at 20:00 UK Time for the after update Special! Just turn up to the session and we'll see what we're in for. Due to us not knowing what we'll all get this Tuesday and what everybody might have Wednesday we thought I'd just be best to decide on the night what everybody feels like doing. This could be we'll end up doing races in new cars. But it could also be exploring the new island (If thats possible), checking out cars, going to the new club, listening to over 100+ new songs, doing the heist or a combination of any. It all depends on what everyone feels like doing on the night. …

This Wednesday we'll be celebrating the often overlooked Swedish manufacturer Vulcar who have been providing Los Santos with a range of reasonably priced cars ranging from the sublime to the Ingot. Despite this they're often forgotten about, not least when it came to making a poster or a playlist this weekend as I promised. There are some things that we know for sure though and that is that we'll be racing three of the finest Vulcars to grace San Andreas and also the Ingot. A mixture of race tracks and rally stages await that won't have been tested recently in the correct class. We will most likely do three races with the Nebula Turbo. We will almost certa…

Start your December right, with a hot off the press celebration of all things roof based. Bring along your favourite racked and stacked vehicle to the casino car park at 8:00PM on Wednesday for a night of general tomfoolery. I like to do things a bit different and not race the same old best in class cars, so for this event there will be 8 races all in racked off vehicles. I tried to cover every class, but even your maestro of roofs struggled with some, so the races will be as followed, not necessarily in this order, Race 1 - Compacts - Panto's Race 2 - Sports - 8F Drafter Race 3 - Sports Classics - Nebula Race 4 - SUV's - Novak Race 5 - Vans …

Come and join us on Wednesday 14th October at 8 PM British time for Part 4 of the Rigged Random Car Extravaganza. After a meet up in free roam we will launch into a playlist of races where you will only know what car we will be racing each race when we get to the race lobbies. Each car is determined by a random generator with a few exclusions like not more than 3 cars from the same class, used recently in an event or often used cars in regular races (I.E. cars like the Krieger in Supers). We will run GTA races so we can spawn in cars for those who do not have them. Verstappen Dave Warriors Mulder Badinga Joyrider Wilkibo…

Wednesday Night Madness

Hi all, sorry for the late post. I'm still very new to this. So a friend of mine asked if there was a chance we could play some Adversary Modes with cars, more of a chill laid back evening with silly races and games, and I put it to the Event Planning thread... forgetting to tag Chubb. So it's a little late, but since there's no need for specific vehicles or costumes or anything like that, I figured it would be a good thing to throw up late and let people come. Plan is for a Playlist of Adversary Modes and occasional R* made Races to spice it up. Kickoff at 8, the events will depend on how many turn up, but hopefully it's all a good bit of fun for all. I'm…

The golden age of touring cars is set to return this Wednesday when these mothballed classics are dragged from their cosy temperature controlled garages to become Titans of the Tarmac once more. In the series heyday Annis, Vapid and Ubermacht locked horns every weekend for bragging rights over who made the fastest , loudest, most louvred, round headlighted, plastic grilled, deep dished, mini mirrored metal death trap on wheels smothered in advertising for an unhealthy lifestyle to try and impress spectators and convince them to buy their latest model. Not since 1979 have these Gladiators of the Guardrails rubbed arches and traded paint. That is until now. …

Come join us this final Wednesday in August for the World Nations Cup, an incredibly convoluted, complicated but ultimately rewarding format for a mid week nights racing. We will be pitting the biggest manufacturers from all over the world across 6 classes to find out who makes the fastest cars.

Once you pick what nation you are driving for you are limited to using their cars over the whole night. Some nations are stronger than other others in some classes. Each nation is fastest in at least one class. It would be massively benefic…

Everybody will race in the regular Felon (fully upgraded). Pole is decided by 1 question before the start of every race. The one who answers it correctly gets pole position. Questions are random questions about everything (could be about animals, geography, history, science etc. etc.) There will be a total of 8 races, 7 in the Felon and the last race will be a mystery race. We will all gather in my nightclub before the event. After meeting in the nightclub we will start a 'find my car'. The searchers can only use normal cars (no mk2, deluxo etc.) I will hide my own felon somewhere in the city and I will give away some clues slowly (just like Mystery Car). The o…

22/07 - Gone In 60 Minutes, a GTA Scavenger Hunt 1 2

Evening all. I mentioned last week that I'd be up for running a race-free night since as you've all probably worked out, I'm getting more and more disillusioned with simply 'standard' race nights. I know I probably took that a little far last Wednesday but I'm going to try and make amends and hopefully put on a good show. The idea of these challenges was stolen from the popular UK Gaming channel the Yogscast, where the concept was for teams of three to bring back the vehicles on a 'hit list' and points awarded for rarity and difficulty in obtaining them. I'm curious to see if anyone would like to come. The RULES: -> Everyone will be split…

179Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Throne of Blood (1957) dir Akira Kurosawa This is Kurosawa's version of Macbeth. It's not like the more usual Shakespearian adaptations that use the original lines, rather it's the same basic story with different lines in a different setting; medieval Japan. It's unmistakeably Macbeth right from the start as the camera pans across a misty, mysterious, highland landscape. Toshirô Mifune stars Washizu (i.e. Macbeth), initially a soldier (I guess you would say Samurai, although I am not totally sure of the correct usage of that) in the army of the local lord (i.e. King Duncan). Washizu and another soldier, Miki (i.e. Macduff), are on the way back from a victorious battle to their lord's castle. They get lost in forest and come across a spirit (equivalent of the witches) who foretells their promotion and that eventually Washizu will be the new lord but it will be Miki's son who succeeds him. They are promoted, Washizu tells his wife (Lady Macbeth, obviously) about the prophecy and it is she who encourages him on the path of deceit, betrayal and murder that will see him full-fill the rest of the prophecy but attempt to change it so that a son of his own succeeds him. One thing I did find slightly odd, and funny, is that whereas in Shakespeare's original (and the historical facts it is based on) Macbeth becomes King of Scotland, here Washizu becomes Lord of Spider's Web Castle. I am assuming that in Japanese “Spider's Web Castle” sounds more impressive than it does in English. It is very well made, of course, and the actors are good, particularly Isuzu Yamada as Lady Washizu. Like Olivier's Shakespeare adaptions it does not seem dated, and I think the Shakespearian style is what helps there. There is some very impressive cinematography, both of the landscapes and some of the castle interior scenes. One that sticks in my mind is when Lady Washizu hatches one of her plans we see her walk into another room, that is pitch black and then emerge shortly after carrying some bottles of drugged saki. The camera stays fixed for all of this, with the doorway to the dark room in the centre so it's almost like she disappears and then reappears, as if using magic. Definitely well worth watching if you are into Shakespeare or Samurai films. 9 / 10- 1

Here's the last thing I bought! It's mighty expensive at $1600, but it makes a easy go of a complex operation. Set it and forget it and keep a sponge wet it's about all it takes! All it takes is a 4-day dry and a 4-day cure. -

I agree @djw180 The Fall of the House of Usher is worth a watch for Mark Hamill’s performance alone. Plus, I’ve been on the fence about watching Kaos. I will definitely give it a go now. Thanks!- 2

TV shows
I just finished watching The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix. Highly recommended! It's a horror-drama in 8 episodes, very loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe short stories or poems with each episode named after a different work of his. I have never read any of them and some had not even heard of, but I now at least know the brief synopsis of them from Wikipedia. What the creators have done is woven together a plot primarily based on the short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" that greatly expands on that. The first episode has the same name as the whole series. Roderick Usher, corrupt billionaire head of a major pharmaceutical company, invites an old adversary, lawyer August Dupin, to his family's derelict house, to confess to a host of crimes. Dupin has been trying to prosecute the Ushers for decades but they always got away with it. Now, following the recent deaths of all six of his children, supposedly in freak, horrific, unrelated accidents, Roderick wants to come clean. Most of the story is now told in flash back, both to the early years of Roderick and his sister Maddie (the brains behind their rise to power) and the children's recent deaths. The next 6 episode each focus on the violent deaths of a different son or daughter, each related in some way to the Edgar Allen Poe story that episode is named after. The final episode, The Raven, then brings everything to it's conclusion, revealing the true cause of all that has happened. It's very, very good. It is a bit bloody and gory at times, but never over-the-top, always done for a reason and usually to fit in with the story that death is named after. It features Mark Hamil in the most un-Luke-Skywalker-like role you can imagine. I never really rated him as an actor in Star Wars, but here, as the Usher's ruthless lawyer he is excellent. Another Netflix series I think is worth a mention is Kaos It's a modern day story of Greek Gods and Heroes, in a world where they most definitely exist and are still worshipped by mortals. Jeff Goldblum is Zeus and there's other recognisable faces amongst the rest of the cast, including David Thewlis as one of Zeus' brothers and fellow god Hades and Suzie Izzard as one of the Fates. It loosely follows the story of Orpheus in the Underworld, but this is part of a bigger plot with both gods and mortals having to accept what fate has in store for them, whether they like it or not.- 1
